Description

Hello my name is Brian and I have been a vinyl fan for many years now and have always bought and sold items to feed my vinyl hunger...I have never been a dealer but will always describe my items for sale as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed pictures.
If you read my ebay feed back as a seller you will see that people are happy with what they recieve from my auctions. I try not to waffle on about how rare an album is using silly expressions such as "AWESOME" or "IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS" etc etc (yawn yawn)!

I am very particular about packaging the vinyl. I use cruciform boxes with cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap for extra protection. The vinyl is always packaged outside of the sleeve to prevent seem splits. I am happy to post any where in the world if fully insured and the cost will depend on the final selling value, so

I can not advise the postage cost until the auction has ended, as it depends on the value of the item sold, and the destination. I will NOT post anywhere without full value insurance.

Please bid with confidence, and if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase i am happy to give a FULL refund on receiving the item back in the condition I posted it out in.

I recommend extra insurance for the more valuable items (over £40), it only costs a couple of pounds and is well worth it in my opinion. I will NOT post items over seas without full insurance.

I use the 'RECORD COLLECTOR' grading system with a + or - where appropriate.

so here we go.........

PLAYBACK.. It is very obvious that this album has only been played a handfull of times and then with the greatest of care. The vinyl has no warping or dishing and sits perfectly flat on the turntable. I am fortunate to own a LINN SONDEK with an EKOS SE arm and KANDID cartridge connected to ROBSON ACOUSTICS amplification and speakers that together show up all the faults as well as the wonderful music that vinyl contains. First and most important the music in this recording is superb, vibrant and very well recorded. There is absolutely no deterioration in the playback full, rich and loud, wonderful stereo and a big wide sound stage. There is no crackle in between tracks. The run-in grove has no crackle. The quality of this pressing is easy to hear, loud deep base, superb stereo separation, and huge sound stage. There is no wear loss to the sound/information on this album. There are no loud clicks or pops, no jumps and no distortion. Very nice copy. N/MINT

A wonderful copy of a great album. You will never need to upgrade, I am sure you won't easily find one as good as this cop. Very nice copy indeed.

If you have any questions, need further information or more photographs, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for looking.
Good luck bidding, Brian.
